By HELEN SHANK
The past week-end marked the end
of the social season for the winter
term as far as dances and most
other festivities are concerned, and
students are turning their undivided
attention to last minute cramming,
preparation of term papers and
equally delightful occupations. How
ever, the many affairs already sched
uled for spring term promise to
make it an equally interesting one.
Foremost among these is the Seven
Seers dance, which has been set for
April 23. The custom as started by
the Seven Seers of last year's regime
to give a dance which would be a
departure from the ordinary run of
entertainment, to which all those
whose names had been mentioned in
the Seven Seers column were invit
ed. The dance this year will be,
as before, a costume cabaret, and
Paul Luy declares that the attrac
tions and features will be clever
and unique in the extreme.
The interesting Coffee Dens of
San Franciso’s underworld furnish
ed the motif for the informal dance
given by Phi Gamma Delta upper
classmen at the chapter house on
Friday night. A most impromptu
atmosphere prevailed. The guests
came in costume and entered by a
coaster slide in the doorway which
furnished a great deal of amuse
ment. A false ceiling of red draper
ies, with dim red lights, gave the
effect of subdued color.
"When the dancers were called to
supper they were seated at small
tables and provided with small ham
mers with which to rap their sum
mons for the waiters, who promptly
served them with the typical under
world fare of tamales, ham buns and
coffee in huge mugs.
Patrons and patronesses were Mr.
and Mrs. A. B. Henningsen and Mr.
and Mrs. Keith Kiggins.
One of the largest affairs of the
week was the benefit bridge party
and tea given on Saturday after
noon by Kappa Kappa Gamma at
the chapter house, from two to six.
Bridge tables were placed in the
sun parlor and the-dining room, and
additional guests called at four
o’clock for tea, which was served
in the drawing room. The house was
softly lighted, and brightened with
masses of bright yellow daffodils.
Guests included a number of town
and campus women, and in the eve
ning from ten to twelve a group of
campus folk called for bridge and
dancing.
A delightful musical program was
given during the afternoon, consist
ing of numbers by Miss Margaret
Inwood on the violin, Miss Kath
erine Inwood at the piano, and vocal
solos by Miss Janet Pierce and
William Porbis.
One of the numerous parties made
possible by the Washington’s birth
day holiday was the breakfast dance
for which members of Phi Kappa
Psi were hosts on Tuesday morning
at the Eugene hotel. The breakfast
dance is an annual event of Wash
ington’s birthday and has become a
house tradition. *
Guests were seated at small tables
in the hotel dining room, and danc
ing was enjoyed between courses.
Each table was centered with a
colorful bouquet of spring blos
soms. As a special feature Tom Han
ley gave a clog dance.
Patrons and patronesses were Mr.
and Mrs. McCook and Mrs. Raley
of Pendleton.

An old fashioned lawn gay with
flowering trellises transformed the
Kappa Delta house into a quaint and
spring-like garden on the occasion
of the informal dance given by its
members on Friday night. Pastel
colored streamers covered the ceil
ing, and the walls were embanked
by tall slender hollyhocks with trail
ing orchid and yellow mistaria cling
ing to the lattices. Soft shaded Jap
anese lanterns further enhanced the
scene.
Etha Jeanne Clark gave a dainty
colonial dance as a feature. Patrons
and patronesses were Mrs. Jeannette
G. Eange, Mr. and Mrs. M. K. Cam
eron, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Caswell
and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Koke.

Members of Alpha Xi Delta sor
ority were hostesses at a formal
grille dance at the Eugene hotel on
Saturday night. The guests were
seated at small tables centered by
tall pink tapers set in banks of
spring flowers and ferns, and pro
grams of black suede with a gold
crest marked each place.
. Among the out-of-town guests at
the formal were Odile Matthews,

Mrs. G. S. Beardsley, Mr. and Mrs.
F. E. Folts, Mr. and Mrs. L. H.

Underclassmen of Sigma Phi Ep
silon were hosts at an informal dance
at their chapter house on Friday
night. The rooms represented a
young man's college stu$y with typ
ical accoutrements. At one end stood
a dresser heaped with the usual line
of things, and on another side was
a study table and typewriter. Cov
ering the walls were pennants of
various colleges and schools, tennis
rackets, canoe paddles and other im
plements of warfare. Music was
furnished by Sharkey Moore’s or
chestra.
Patrons and patronesses were Mr.
and Mrs. Warren D. Smith and Mr.
and Mrs. P. A. Parsons.
An interesting informal was that
given by Susan Campbell hall girls
at the Woman’s building on Friday
night, at which the pirate idea pre
dominated in thfe decorations. Bowls
of red carnations, and chandeliers
shaded with red further carried out
the color scheme, and the players in
the orchestra were dressed in typ
ical costumes of Captain Kidd days.
Programs in the shape of pirates’
heads told the order of dances.
The committee in charge of the
decorations consisted of Emmabell
Woodworth and Alice Laudien. Mar
garet Holbrook gave a feature dance
in pirate costume.
Patrons and patronesses were Miss
Ernestine Troemel, Miss Fanny Mc
Camant, Mr. Lawrence de Byckc and
Mr. Edward Kelly.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon gave its an
imal formal on Friday night in the
form of a dinner dance at the Eu
gene hotel. Beautiful bouquets of
fresh spring flowers and ferns made
charming centerpieces for the small
tables at which the guests were
seated.
During the evening a number of
selections given by two pianists in
duet made an attractive feature.
Patrons and patronesses were Mr.
and Mrs. Paul P. Shaw of Portland,
Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Woodworth of
Tacoma, Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Rapp
and Capt. and Mrs. Frank Culin of
I Eugene.

A number of out-of-town girls of
the younger set were guests at the
informal dance given by members
of Alpha Delta Pi at their home on
Saturday night. The scene was that
of a cocoanut grove, filled with tall
palms in whose branches perched
tropical birds in varied hues. Softly
shaded lights and red candles fur
nished the only light.
Refreshments were served from
an oasis at one end of the room,
where stood a striped tent circled
by palm trees.
Patrons and patronesses were Mr.
and Mrs. Frank L. Chambers, Mr.
and Mrs. Wilson Jewett, Mr. and
Mrs. R. F. Griefe, Dean Virginia
Judy Esterly and Mrs. Lucy Perkins.

nolds, Mrs. Jane Dudley Epley, and

Sigma Nu upperclassmen enter
tained with a formal grille dance at
their chapter house on Friday eve
ning. Softly shaded lights and tall
potted palms made a simple but at
tractive background. Clever hand
painted programs bearing a comic
menu on one side and the order of
dances on the other stood at each
place.
During the evening Margaret Hol
brook featured with a song and
dance, and Ted O’Hara gave sev
eral popular selections with his ban
jo.
Patrons and patronesses were Dean
and Mrs. H. D. Walker and Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Carter.
The decorations for the formal
dance given by Pi Beta Phi at the
chapter house on Saturday night
were designed to carry out the motif
of a trip into fairyland and a glimpse
of all the queer little creatures who
live there. Little hugs with suit
cases in their hands and shoes on
their feet had taken their places
in the corners and on the cobwebs
of tinsel which fairy spiders had
woven on the walls.
Patrons and patronesses were Dean
ad Mrs. H. D. Walker, Mr. and Mrs.
Delbert Oberteuffer and Mrs. Frank
